what i'm reading.

i finished this book over a week ago. i think perhaps i didn't blog about it before because i never got into it. i found the main character annoying - but maybe that's because i dealt with my separation differently. i know there are people out there in the world who react with such anger when they find out they've been cheated on, but i really wanted to remain calm, get as much distance between the ex and i as possible (thank goodness i was heading to phoenix the next day), and move on with my life. of course, eventually i reached for that safety blanket again, but i never wanted to make a scene, never wanted to be melodramatic. perhaps because i was already expecting it? i'm not sure.

and there were parts i didn't really think to be pertinent to the story. like the scene between the main character and his sister-in-law. weird.

in any case, although i finished this book, it definitely wasn't a favorite. i do think that the movie will be more entertaining, but as a novel, i just wasn't impressed.
